No, Tom drives an automatic 240K because Tom has just had thousands and thousands of dollars worth of surgery to remove a tumour that invaded four of the bones in Tom's wrist, and consequently Tom has not given a flying f**k about the yellow sticker in his garage, or the pile of iron oxide it's stuck to.

*He got it stickered and it hasn't seen the road since.*
*Seems a shame to know there is a unloved wagon over there in SA.*

*Tom,*
*In Perth you have the choice.*
*E-Class* *Any motor car with automatic transmission.*
*A-Class Any motor car equipt to seat 10 or less adult persons
including driver.*
*And No You Can't drive a manual with only a E-Class licence.*
*I hope this sorts out all the questions,*
*P.S You can not get a cheap upgrade to A-Class after 12
months over here in Perth, you need to resit your test in a
car with manual transmission.*
